I suspect that the MRC unit can use a telephone cord because the the hand held unit may not be transmitting full track power to the rails. It may just be sending a signal to the main control unit and that then interprets the signal to send power to the rails. If you are trying to send more than milliamps through the cable, you will need something bigger than phone cable and plugs.

telephone lines can handle tons of traffic. The MRC CM20 uses both lines (four wires) of the telephone wire...enough communication capacity for two computers with 56k modems. The transformer is in the box...and the trains do not stop when you unplug the throttle to move to a new location.

If Wayne uses this or a similar system, then it would cause no trouble.
